Experience the 80s Nostalgia with Kingdom Eighties
2023-06-27
In recent years, the popularity of kids on bikes battling or befriending monsters has risen, thanks in part to the success of shows like Stranger Things. This nostalgic and thrilling genre has now extended to video games with the introduction of Kingdom Eighties, a game that takes the captivating formula of the original Kingdom series and adds an unmistakable 80s twist.
Kingdom Eighties takes players on a journey away from the fantasy world of its predecessors, catapulting them into the universe of kids on bikes defending their towns from the sinister forces of Greed. These evil beings are determined to steal your cool possessions and rob you of your happiness, a fate that no bike-riding, adventure-seeking kid wants to face during their summer vacation.
Similar to the earlier Kingdom games, players must build up their towns and economies, but in Kingdom Eighties, horses and farms are replaced by bikes, skateboards, and activities like mowing lawns and selling lemonade. This new setting provides a fresh and engaging experience while still maintaining the core elements that made the Kingdom series successful – gathering resources, arming your allies, and fortifying your defenses against the relentless waves of Greed.
For those eager to dive into this 80s-inspired adventure, a demo version of Kingdom Eighties is now available as part of Steam Next Fest. The demo gives players a taste of what's in store, including an opening cutscene and a chance to build a fort around a high school, complete with dumpster barricades and target-shooting bows to fend off the monstrous Greed.
Kingdom Eighties is set to release on June 26th, 2023, on Steam, offering fans of the genre an exciting and unique gaming experience.
